June was a tough month for American Honda Motors. Torque News takes a closer look at the headlines.

The announcement that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat will pack 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque has rocked the automotive world, but the discussion has quickly shifted to just how much the most powerful muscle car of all time will cost – and there is a good chance that many muscle car loyalists will be unhappy with the sticker price of this Mopar monster.

The latest “Most American Vehicles” list has been issued by Cars.com and not surprisingly, the Ford F150 is the most American of the vehicles sold in the USA while the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Viper join the bestselling truck on a list of ten that includes seven vehicles from Japanese automakers.

When the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was introduced, GM said that there were no plans for a ZR1 since the new Z06 was the fastest Vette ever, but with the introduction of the new Hellcat Hemi-powered Dodge Challenger, GM will need a new ZR1 to pull ahead in the ongoing horsepower war.

While Ford Motor Company has only promised that the 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost would offer at least 305 horsepower and at least 300lkb-ft of torque, a new report quoting an unnamed inside suggests that the turbocharged S550 Mustang will offer 350 horsepower – which would make it a far more formidable foe in the horsepower war than we first had expected.

Now that we know how much power the new Hellcat Hemi will make in the 2015 Dodge Challenger, it is very clear that a Hellcat powered Jeep Grand Cherokee will annihilate any performance SUV that the European supercar makers can come up – leaving the owners of the far more expensive German and Italian sport utes crying in their overpriced beer.

A while back I did a piece discussing the fact that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat wouldn’t beat the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and now that the Chrysler Group has announced the shocking power figures for the supercharged Hellcat Hemi – it only seems proper to revisit the battle between the two American monsters.

We found out yesterday that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would pack 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque from the new 6.2L supercharged Hemi and today, we have a couple videos showing that new monster muscle car motor – giving us a great chance to see and hear the 707hp Challenger in action.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is a pretty big deal to the American performance world and with the next generation pony car expected to arrive within the next few months, the folks from Saleen have offered up the first image of their S302 package – with a front end design that is substantially different and exponentially more aggressive than the standard Mustang face.
